Summary: Great films, lousy disk holder
Comment: Planet Earth by the BBC on Blu-ray has received rave reviews by many folks and hardly needs another by me. In a word, it is awesome. However, the mechanical design of the disk holders is terrible. I almost break the disk each time I remove a disk from its holder. The center catch is just too stiff and no matter how hard I push on it the disk doesn't release. There are several superior center holder designs, why doesn't the industry settle on the few that work and stopping using the ones that don't?

Summary: Nice Video Set
Comment: Though have not viewed entire set, video quality so far is good. Delivered fairly promptly and in good condition. Very good first buying experience with Amazon.

Summary: Just Shook My Head In Amazement
Comment: Despite finishing this 11-part series on Blu-Ray a few weeks ago, I still shake my head in amazement at the things I saw on these discs.
Obviously, the incredible photography and sharpness/color (please see this on high-def, if you can) is the first thing that captures the viewer's eye, but as the series went on I appreciated the objectivity in here. The writers and narrator David Attenborough just present the world as it is, with no preaching. The beauty of this earth says it all, and the writers were smart enough to figure that out during this series.
After viewing 11 discs, you come to the obvious conclusions that in the Earth's world of animals, birds and fish come only a few objectives: where to find food, water, a mate, and escape being devoured by a predator. That's it, except for pets or zoo animals. On land or in water, it's simply a matter of survival, as this BBC series shows us.
What makes this so special is that, thanks to incredible work by cameramen, we are privy to many extraordinary sights we would never see, if left on our own, and never imagined existed on this planet. Much of this series is simply mind-boggling to view, especially all the overhead shots, which were stunning, especially in high-definition.

Summary: Bad Experience w/ a great product
Comment: Ordered well in time to receive and TEST out before giving as a gift. Certainly glad I did! The DVD's did not work. Four discs, tried out on 6 different DVD players and /or computer disc drives. Seller had snarky comments about my issue and we are currently trying to get replacement. Very inconvenient, irritating and disappointing. I still have not given the gift and the holidays are over.......

Summary: great product but wrong purchase
Comment: I did not realize one needed an HD DVD player for this product, nor did a few of my tech savvy relatives upon first thought. It will be returned.
